Reddit mentions: The best cargo shorts for men

I'm not a fan of cycling clothes myself, so I can't point you in the direction of cycling specific clothing. My rides are always pretty casual, I like to stop and check out the sights on my routes, stop in stores, restaurants, bars/breweries, etc. so I like having pretty normal looking clothes. I wear these shirts from Eastbay. They are fitted, but not compression fit so they don't cling to you. They aren't baggy but there's a little room, I find them very comfortable. They are always 2 for $20 with free shipping, even though the site advertises it as a sale.

As far as shorts, I have a couple pair of Oneill shorts, they are really light. If I know I'm not getting off the bike I just wear gym shorts. I'm finding on my longer rides that I'm starting to want padding too, so I just ordered a pair of these from Nashbar to test. I can still wear the same shorts I like, plus they are very inexpensive in case I decide I don't like them, I'm not out a lot of money. I should have them by Friday so I'll update on what I think about them then. Nashbar also has a casual jersey I'm interested in. Looks a lot like the fitted Eastbay shirts I like but with a jersey pocket on the back. Inexpensive too, which you can tell is a big factor for me.

Bought these Scotch & Soda shorts yesterday :)

Love at first sight. Slim fit, stretchy cotton, super comfy!! I was happy :)

Mine will be in shorts and flip flops. We are compromising on shirt - he wants t-shirt but so long as short sleeve he is ok.

Mind you August and Vegas. I am in a tea length gown. Not overly formal at all. (pic is on my history somewhere recently).

Here is the shirt I found for him. Will be with shorts similar to these.

I feel it is his wedding too and he should be comfortable and happy and luckily he feels the same for me so this works for us.

I absolutely love these shorts for that reason. They have a dedicated hidden phone pocket on the right leg that perfectly holds a Note 9. The phone slides right in and is secure. I have a Speck grip case and it still fits fine. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IT4V0M0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i0CKBbEVJ8VTH

yes! I could only upvote once, so here's an orange-red telling you how happy your comment made me.

Here's more awesome paisley for all the paisley lovers

...and...

I'm quite partial to this look

paisley lovers, UNITE!

So I’m looking for a great summer fit! I had these (https://www.amazon.com/Tonwhar-Fashion-Capris-Elastic-Drawstring/dp/B00KJJD8JM?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2 ) pants that cuffed around the calf’s and knees the materials sucked and ripped in less then a month. I want to see if there is something similar out there, nice material and good for causal work environment, dates, etc. for those warm summer/fall days that’s just right not too hot for shorts not too cold for jeans/chino khakis.

I have a slightly less extreme version of your situation. Six feet tall, 202 lbs, 36-inch waist.

I've been cycling for thirty years, so I have big thighs.

I recently got some of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FB6JGBW/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apap_Y1NMUIndr9UlX

My wife at least complimented me on the way they look. I try to wear a nice shirt with them and a necklace to distract from the fact that, yeah, I'm wearing cargo shorts.

If anyone here has a more-fashionable suggestion, I'd love to hear.

I've had good luck with Levi's squad cargo shorts. I bought one of every kind that they had last summer (no that doesnt count the hideous blue and red ones) and they are the only cargo shorts I will ever wear.

Just my 2 cents

this is the best i've got for something formal without giving off an impression of trying too hard

I bought two pairs on Amazon last week, and they're actually pretty high quality. This is it. Amazon is both a blessing and a curse.

I'm looking for a navy blue belt. The kind that usually comes with mens cargo shorts. It's fabric and has two metal rings to fasten the belt in place.

Am I better off just buying some shorts from Amazon that have the belt $22 or is there a place to get them cheap? Also, is there a name that describes this kind of fabric belt?

Didnt have any luck in physical stores, but bought these about 2 years ago and i really like them. The front pockets are kinda shallow but it has zipper pockets on both sides that are big. I removed the belt it comes with and use a regular belt.

I need to have water with me in line, so I purchased a collapsible water bottle from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K17T5RW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Fits in my zippered cargo shorts pocket, which I also bought from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B6EBMYC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yeah and breathable.

MFA usually advises against cargo pockets, and ide recommend flat front chino shorts.

i do have a green pair of shorts from Hurly that has some flat but still roomy cargo pockets on the side.

i think its these , but green like these. note that the second pair has some weird seam on the front and the pockets are also flat, butt really plain which somehow makes them look worse.

im sure if you go to hurlys site you can find my first linked shorts in green and other colors. i got mine at pac sun.

For those curious, here are the shorts. I don't love that they're cargo shorts but they do have a long 15" inseam.

Think out of the box man, prime shipping, purple sharpie
